And what happens when parent's aren't doing their job? Sure, you watch TV with your son. My parents did the same thing. But what about the parents who plug their kids into the TV while they go down to the corner to buy some crack? Or they get to know Jack Daniels better while little Johnny is watching Howard Stern?
